pie. lHIt differs considerably frombioF-
mer drafts, and hasall the appearance
of an honest and successful effort to I
meet he difficulties which haYe
hitherto stood in the q way aof
an agreement. 1t has long been adj
mitted that England has no reason
TO object to an arrangement which
should leave the passageof the Cannl
open. to all ships equally at all times.
She does not ask any advantage for
herself in this respect which she is
not willing to concede to every other
Power. Where difficulties have arts
en-, it has been exclusively with re-
gard to the means by which this free
passage should be secured. The draft
cor vention submitted to the Interna-
tional Convention of Paris in 1888,
proposed the appointment of a Coun-
Gil consisting in part of special dele
gates named by the Powers, in part
of the captains of the ships on the
station. This Council was to exer-
else a general control over the
execution Of the Treaty. The Bri-
fish Government thought any such.
Council Unnecessary and objectiona-
BILE. 1t was proposed to give toit
the proper business OF the Consular
representatives in Egypt. They are
on The spot, and as they arc there for
other purposes than the guardianship
of the Canal, they will be under no
temptation to magnify this special
function unduly. The French Go
vernmenl has yielded the point,
Article 8 of the new Convention com
mits its execution to the care Of the
ordinary representatives of the sigma
tory Powers in Egypt. Whenever
the security or the free passage of
the Canal is threntene J, they will
meet and represent to the Khedive's
Government the danger which has
arisen; and once in each year they
will IN set, whether it is necessary or
not, to make Sure that the Treaty is
being carried out.
The second point at issu' between
France and England was, how much
was to be forbidden 10 belligerents.
The English Government proposed
to prohibit The "stationing" by IL bel
ligerent Of any ships of-war in the
Canal or its ports. The French Gov
ernment wished TO prohibit all acts of
war, and niI acts "directed immedi-
ately to the preparation OF an opera
ton Of war;" not only in tie Canal
hut in The ports Of access, in the APP
~proaches to IT, and in the territorial
waters Of Egypt. The English Gov
ernment objected to any reference
to tile "approaches' of the Canal, or
ia. the territorial waters OF Egypt, and
they pointed out that to forbid pre-
parations for an operation of war
might operate very ininriously on
preparations for the defence of Egypt.
Equally important was the prohibi-
ton proposed by the French Govern
ment of'ihe embarkation or debarka-
ton OF troops or munitions of war,
whether in time OIL, war or in time pf
pence. The British delegates con.
tended that this prohibition should

Pardon Day,

Yesterday all day long people were COM
ing and going at the Governors office old
| and gray-haired men; mothers in widow
weeds; wives with the little ones brothers
| and sisters. 1t was pardon day. All was
quiet around the executive Office. The
clerks n owed about noiselessly. The tick
of the old clock upon the wall could be
heard above the whisperings of those as
sembled. In the private Office of the Gov
| ernor was mother and father pleading for
the pardon of an erring son, who was serv-
ing out sentence in prison. The others
were quietly patiently, tearfully waiting
their turn to plead for their loved ones also.
There were no lawyers in that group, no
salaried attorneys to plead the cause of any
one; it was the ties of kindred, the love
they bore the wayward ones. Many had
been imprisoned long, had suffered years of
confinement. and the grief stricken mother
could only iii K of him as hep darling
boy. There was the wife, who had lost the
strong arm that had been her support, and
with her the children whose father had
long been an inmate Of a prison cell. Their
appeals for mercy-their prayers for pardon
on the ground that the law had been suf-
ticiently vindicated, were such as would
bring tears of pity 10 the eyes of the most
hardened, and if the Governor could not
grant their request he sympathized most
thoroughly with the grlef-stricken appli-
cant. Governor Waterman decided at the
outset of his administration to do away
with pardon brokerage. and have one day
each month to hear applications. II is safe
to say that he, and perhaps no other Gov
eTnor, ever heard as many strong pleas
from loving hearts, and witnessed so much
grief. or so much real anguish, III one day,
as he did yesterday.
